I didn’t know that this forum is such a welcoming, inclusive space. Perhaps I should stay in some form.

Eh. I guess I should address this once:

Nor should I continue much further with a throwaway account that is accidentally picking up way too much merit for high-quality, substantive posts. LOL. Whoops. Surely, I have much to whine about. Cheesy

Speaking of useless throwaway newbie accounts that pretend to know everything about everyone, what's your opinion on your fellow mouthy cunt nullius? Is he the greatest genius ever or what?

hahahaha

You are quite the investigator, suchmoon...

#justsaying

Kind of like Colombo.

I was serious about restricting suchmoon to only one chance to troll me:

This sort of ironically reminds me of when Quickseller, TECSHARE, and others accused nullius of being a Lauda alt. Back then, QS was sure that nullius couldn’t be new. I think that he obviously wasn’t Lauda, so who was nullius? What is his (allegedly, my) real “main account”?

It also makes me chuckle over the time when nullius was accused of being Satoshi—or the numerous times when suchmoon has been “outed” as an alt of all sorts of different characters. Almost every prominent forum member accumulates a collection of such allegations. If I got one so early, perhaps I am destined for glory!

Perennially popular as such speculation is on this forum, answering it as a serious allegation is counterproductive, if there are no valid grounds for one to be called to answer. This old cypherpunk forum was founded by “Satoshi Nakamoto”. Its administration explicitly allows, and even sometimes encourages the use of multiple accounts—as long as alter-egos aren’t abused for sockpuppet brigades, or otherwise for fraudulent purposes. Privacy and pseudonymity are touchstones of the culture here. I have done nothing fraudulent or abusive, so it is nobody’s business what other identities I may or may not have. Maybe I’m nullius, maybe I’m not—we are all nullius—in the manner of the now-popular aphorism, “We are all Satoshi.”

(I am a long-term holder of some altcoins, and sometimes a short-term speculator in others. I figure PnL in BTC, and my long-term net capital flow has been from alts to BTC—so don’t complain about that; and no, I never had a problem before I tried margin! But I am a Bitcoiner first and foremost; and I am even a Cøbra fan, even though I’m none too sure what Cøbra would say of me and my altcoins. Anyway, I enjoy coding for smart-contract chains. It’s fun, and sometimes profitable. I believe strongly in the need for a decentralized, permissionless, price-stable currency as a complement to Bitcoin. Does all of this sound like nullius? Who knows, maybe nullius is a closet altcoiner! Shocked

)

Such musing aside, I must remind the peanut gallery that I have done nothing wrong, and I haven’t even been accused of doing anything wrong. suchmoon is going off on me like Don Quixote trying to slay a windmill, because—why!? It’s not about me. About her, it is revealing.

Her bizarre, hateful fixation on a new account that’s done nothing wrong draws me to reflect on the time when suchmoon recently went off the deep end of paranoid-schizophrenic tier conspiratard delusions (archive). Whether one likes him or not, 4-digit marcus_of_augustus has been a fixture on this forum since 2011. He has always expressed the same types of opinions—agree or disagree, those are his opinions. So, his opinions have now magically morphed him into a Russian agent—because anyone, anywhere with an unpopular opinion about Russia is ipso facto on the Russian payroll! OK, whatever. Beware, beware, Russian agents are everywhere.

A better theory: Vladimir Putin personally inserted a microchip into my brain, which made me trade on margin. This caused me to lose my BTC, so that Russia could buy it cheap from the liquidator bot. I blame Russia. It also caused me to register a Bitcoin Forum account, to hurt suchmoon. I don’t know why my presence has hurt her; my posts had nothing to do with her, before she popped up out of nowhere with vicious personal attacks on me. But it is definitely an attack on suchmoon. It must be. A Russian attack. They are out to get you!

Her behavior doesn’t speak well of her mental state, especially given that her obsession with me was near-instantaneous. Two days after I registered my account, when I had said nothing to offend her (and hadn’t even interacted with her at all!), suchmoon saw fit to insult me gratuitously on my trust page:

Pompous mouthy not-a-newbie.

Oh, noes! I just used nullius-style formatting to quote trust feedback. Did I just accidentally prove my secret identity as nullius, or am I a sophisticated cypherpunk mimicking others’ styles to throw you off my trail? I do frequently switch British/American English, punctuation patterns, and so forth. I’ll just let that play with your head. Muahahaha!

But shocking though her rude antics are, it is unsurprising to see her go off in a public meltdown over nothing.

suchmoon is the type of mean little soul that feeds off attention. She thrives off stirring drama, ruining reputations, and manipulating people to do what she wants. And it’s a pitiable shame for this forum that one with such manifestly unprofessional, ugly behaviour could ever attain a position of community prominence. Frankly, she comports herself as gutter-trash. Her snipe about a “mouthy cunt” is reminiscent of the shitcoiner who recently called me a “Bitcoin maxi cunt”.

suchmoon’s only power is the power that you give her. Accordingly, she has been struggling obsessively to get a rise out of me: To troll me, to bait me into a flamewar, to drag me down to her level of uncouth, uncivil discourse. I have better things to do with my time, because I have a life; and to avoid being dragged down into the mud, I must hereby mind the adage about wrestling with a pig.

Ignore suchmoon, and the forum is cleaner.

Having so said, it may now be wise to desist from getting trolled by such of suchmoon’s potty-mouth flamebait as others may quote.

Yea, yea, yea... still an Asshole that made me buy cheap Sats!

BTW still got a buy order in at $27.8... think maybe you could somehow piss off the Bitcoin gods again or some shit? Tired of sitting on the fiat...
